See new posts Conversation Carly Pildis @CarlyPildis I am grateful for the Democrats calling for Platner to drop out today. Those still backing him should be embarrassed and ashamed.

A coordinated campaign to urge a guy who is up by 20 or 30 points to drop out of a primary because he went on a popular vet podcast.

There is no manager to complain to anymore. Don't know who these complaints are directed to.

Why? To make our electricity more expensive with almost zero productive economic activity to show for it beyond the initial construction of the date center?

No thanks.

If the Jays beat the Dodgers for the #WorldSeries the inescapable conclusion is that the God of America is displeased with the current course of things.

I don't make the rules.

I say this as a long time antiZionist jew from Winnipeg who's been very disappointed and perplexed by Jesse's coverage of this genocide.

I found this episode very cathartic. I got to hear Cynk yell things at Jesse I've been wanting to for a while, and got to hear Jesse's response and perspective.

I was one of the very first subscribers to Canadaland and I'm proud to still be, for many many reasons. I thought this was an amazing conversation (despite the yelling, it was ultimately respectful) and is the kind of real shit that made me fall in love with the show so many years ago.

Subscibe!

Also you should put it on the public feed eventually.

"all but confirmed by internet" is the most unreliable phrase I've ever heard

And, for the record, I have an amazing enriched fun-filled life full of music, friends, family, enriching conversations, and fulfilling and challenging work. I just love Revolutions Podcast that much.

How could you do this to me??? My Sunday night ritual and highlight of my week is re-listening to last week's ep then listening to the new Martian Revolution podcast.

It's alright. It's a long weekend here anyway and Radio War Nerd has a new episode out on drones (tangentially related I suppose)

Police bullets and subsequent IIU investigation leave trail of troubling questions in wake of teen’s death in Portage la Prairie After two years, Tara and Kaylan still cannot comprehend how their mild-mannered homebody son, who didn’t cause them any problems or get into trouble at school, who’d never interacted with the police ...

Excellent piece by @marshamcleod.bsky.social on this entirely avoidable tragedy and the pathetic joke of a system we have for any "police accountability".

(I'm very grateful to have a daily like the @winnipegfreepress.com still doing actual journalism!)

Wow, not even a token nod to the need to balance a competing intetest in maintaing free expression of ideas without government interference, nor any consideration of the danger inherent in giving governments the ability to ban speech they deem to be disinformation.

That's a really long thread to say, what?

Was Jesse Brown correct or not about Gilmore repeatedly linking the arson to the convoy protestors?? Obviously the first screenshot shows no such thing, but Jesse replied he sent the wrong one, and sent others. Which you don't share. What do they show?

University of Winnipeg's finances in dire straits The University of Winnipeg is warning about a “dire financial situation” and hefty deficit — $4 million in the red is its low-end estimate for next year — due to chronic underfunding and a drop in int...

"The U of M is given $13,362 per student, Brandon University receives $12,354, while U of Winnipeg gets $7,260."

The @mbndpcaucus.bsky.social should be ashamed of its continuing neglect of such a central institution to Winnipeg. There is no excuse.

People forgot that marriage law is actually mostly about the rights of each party on divorce. Recognizing polygamous marriage actually protects people in them by ensuring they have rights - including possible financial support - if they ever want to leave.

Sad to see the unique light posts being replaced with the standard park fixtures in Winnipeg’s cherished Exchange District National Historic Site. Beauty means little in the world today.

I know a lot of my fellow Canadians have been worried about Trump and his threats to Canadian sovereignty, but you can relax now. We got it covered:

Its because Ford has done the thing which no one else had the guts to do: put an export tariff on energy.

Can't wait for next episode. Governor declares martial law?? Left me hanging on a cliff.

BY EMAIL Re: United States v. Eric Adams, 24 Cr. 556 (DEH) Mr. Bove, I have received correspondence indicating that I refused your order to move to dismiss the indictment against Eric Adams without prejudice, subject to certain conditions, including the express possibility of reinstatement of the indictment. That is not exactly correct. The U.S. Attorney, Danielle R. Sassoon, never asked me to file such a motion, and I therefore never had an opportunity to refuse. But I am entirely in agreement with her decision not to do so, for the reasons stated in her February 12, 2025 letter to the Attorney General. In short, the first justification for the motion-that Damian Williams's role in the case somehow tainted a valid indictment supported by ample evidence, and pursued under four different U.S. attorneys is so weak as to be transparently pretextual. The second justification is worse. No system of ordered liberty can allow the Government to use the carrot of dismissing charges, or the stick of threatening to bring them again, to induce an elected official to support its policy objectives. There is a tradition in public service of resigning in a last-ditch effort to head off a serious mistake. Some will view the mistake you are committing here in the light of their generally negative views of the new Administration. I do not share those views. I can even understand how a Chief Executive whose background is in business and politics might see the contemplated dismissal-with-leverage as a good, if distasteful, deal. But any assistant U.S. attorney would know much i i red oril, in this ily. wing the perset arthro he Reside is ving to, give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me. Please consider this my resignation. It has been an honor to serve as a prosecutor in the Southern District of New York. Yours truly, Hagan Scotten Assistant United States Att…

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

I dress like that and sing this exaxt song with others now and then.

This explains a lot, though. I didn't realize it, but it must be so attractive that it makes it too intimidating for many women to even speak to me.

Hello Bluesky! The new season of our power grid podcast The Disconnect is out! This time we look at the oil and gas industry's role in keeping the lights on. We start with the roaring history of martial law, oil bootlegging and con artistry in the East Texas oilfield!

I rent a lot of cars for work and noticed in 2022 that I was getting offered Teslas at DEEP discounts from Hertz. Like, save half my money if I get one of these instead of a Jeep Compass.

Given how closely integrated the economies are, the Trump tariff threat was/is a real existential crisis for Canada - we were/are looking down the barrel of a serious economic crisis.

Carney, by far, seems like the most competent - with his central banker gravitas - to guide us through that storm.

This isn't Twitter. There is no point in posing something this idiotic and laughable just to get attention and views. You don't get paid for them here!

How about letting us buy them from China?

you know, rather than making Canadians pay inflated rates and subsidizing the profits of US companies (with plants in Canada)

Nice pic!
